EB-604/410 All-JFET Line Amp Starter Kit

This article continues the classic JFETs series of articles by Erno Borbely and introduces one of his starter kits with an all-JFET line amp. Originally published in audioXpress March 2005 this is an essential reading to understand the “building blocks” of the “Borbely amplifiers”.

The basic circuits on which Erno Borbely based most of his projects are described in “JFETs: The New Frontiers, Part I and II,” published in Audio Electronics AE 5/99 and 6/99, and “All-FET Line Amp,” published in audioXpress May 2002. As the author admits, these were the “building blocks” on which many - if not all - of his amplifiers are based. This articles continues his JFETs series and was originally published in Audio Electronics, Vol 5 1999.

The basic circuits on which Erno Borbely based most of his projects are described in “JFETs: The New Frontiers, Part I and II,” published in Audio Electronics AE 5/99 and 6/99. Referring to these articles frequently, the author admits, these were the “building blocks” on which many - if not all - of his amplifiers are based. This article is the first part, as originally published in Audio Electronics, Vol. 5 1999.
